Senior advisor to the US President for Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, stressed that unifying Libya’s institutions remains a critical prerequisite for holding credible national elections and achieving long-term stability.
His remarks came after a meeting with several ministers from the interim Government of National Unity, including officials responsible for transport, oil and gas, and economy and trade. The discussions focused on implementing a unified national budget and expanding economic cooperation between Libya and the United States.
Boulos highlighted the importance of creating new opportunities for American companies to invest in Libya, particularly in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, telecommunications, mining, and aviation. He emphasized that the focus should be on practical investments capable of delivering measurable results and supporting sustainable economic growth.
He noted that Libya has strong potential for economic partnership, especially as it works to rebuild infrastructure and diversify its economy. Strengthening ties with international partners, including the United States, is seen as a key step toward improving economic performance and creating new development opportunities.
At the same time, Boulos underlined that economic progress must be accompanied by political and institutional reform. He stated that unifying Libya’s economic, military, and political institutions is essential to creating a stable environment in which credible elections can take place.
